Derun unveil their brand new ‘Kaunos’ EP including Pophop and Lannka remixes

By

Border-crossing, immersive, warm, dreamy, wide, open and spacious. Good descriptions for the sound of Derun, yet there’s one word that really hits the mark: Human.

On their Kaunos EP the duo invites us to live and create a new world culture that exists without any questions of origin or destiny, of achievement or aspiration. To let go and to surrender to the lively play of the groove means to leave behind the paradigms of everyday life and to spontaneously connect on a much more universal level.

Stylistic accentuations and harmonic contrasts within this rich experience can be found in the remixes of Pophop and Lannka, who give the narrative of the original tracks two mind-bending new spins.

Pophop is right in his element when cruising through the sound waves of that endless ocean named music, always in search of new melodies. The haul he brings to his home port -the artist collective 3000Grad from Germany- afterwards, is an eclectic mixture of East European folklore, dubby grooves, tropical happiness, and multicoloured electronic sound pearls.

Using these precious treasures, the bearded vagabond lures the dance floor out of the grey mist of everyday life, takes his listeners on an exciting adventure trip full of daring love for life.

Deorbiting unveil their brand new EP ‘Veil’ including Oliver Koletzki remix

By

Volume two taken from Deorbiting’s latest long-player “Space House”, here comes “Veil” EP, featuring two cuts from the album plus an exclusive rework from SVT bossman himself, Oliver Koletzki.

A low-slung downtempo ballad into serene mental scapes and vast expanses of sound, “Veil ” will tickle the fancy of all those in search for meditation both on and off the dance floor with its adaptative groove, at ease both in club context and home alone, whether the sun shines bright outside or when you want that sensitive touch of Deorbiting sending you into the zone effortlessly.

In the hands of Oliver Koletzki, “Veil” finds itself endowed with the impact of a bullet. Take the original’s infectious melody, add a bodybuilded bass, crank the tempo up a notch – or two, a few tweakings to the synths here and there, Koletzki‘s mystique-imbued vision and you got a tune that’s just a proper festival smasher.

Merging vocodized lines a la Space Art with a sturdy yet flexile bass lead to rally all down the closest club, Das Kosmische Ballett is a cosmic whirlwind of the finest ilk, primed for big-room communion and gravity-free boogie, no matter you’re on planet Earth having a blast with your friends or drifting in your spaceship from one system to the other in search for an unknown source of life.

All Day I Dream

Over the past decade, Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream has captured the imagination and hearts of music lovers everywhere, offering magical daytime experiences dedicated to the community as much as the music. On May 12-15, The All Day I Dream Festival will debut in the idyllic surroundings of California’s Woodward Reservoir in Oakdale, California to offer its first-ever weekend long camping escape.

For the festival’s inaugural lineup, Lee Burridge will bring together the ADID family from around the world and an eclectic mix of live acts at a serene natural setting.

Lee‘s global reputation and keen ear for live electronic wondery helped recruit heavy hitters like Anjunabeats‘ trio Cubicolor, who often produce live vocals, guitar and synths to deliver melodic hits in the techno and house worlds. Swedish electronic band Little Dragon will bring forth their unique style of unhurried, off-kilter R&B pop and electronics. Australian singer-songwriter and producer Ry X, known for fusing elemental emotions via live performances, will be joined by emotive electronic band GHEIST, who are set to offer their rich take on progressive house and techno textures.

While ADID’s typical DJ format will exist in full at its inaugural camping event, the live acts are at the core of a musical curation bent on experience as well as performance

Also joining the mix in May is acclaimed producer Guy Gerber, whose accomplishments span working with Puff Daddy, helming the decks at Pacha, to curating the iconic RUMORS global party series.

ADID Festival‘s homegrown DJ lineup is topped by Sébastien Léger, whose 20-year career has covered international hits to a recent Cercle performance at the Giza Pyramids. ADID’s veteran presence will additionally be held down by Gorje Hewek, a longtime label member and head of the Shanti Moscow Radio, Tim Green, a global dance star who entered the ADID family with 2020’s Vacation to Life EP, as well as cosmic powerhouse Öona Dahl.

Zone+, who packs releases with All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, and Sol Selectas, will join fellow ADID Festival curator Hoj as well as Bona Fide, Gab Rhome, and Lauren Ritter. Lost Desert will be performing alongside vocalist Junior, known for his iconic collabs on the imprint. Additionally, The Netherlands’ Matthew Dekay will help ring in this first full weekend ceremoniously.

Jan Blomqvist‘s set will bring a Live show feel to the dancefloor with his self-coined ‘concert techno.’ His virtuosic work as a solo artist and frontman of the band BLOMQVIST has yielded widespread acclaim from NY’s Zero Parties to Burning Man – and will surely create a dreamy moment at the inaugural event. Also billed – Tel Aviv’s Roy Rosenfeld, Argentinian Facundo Mohrr, and afro-house inspired acts like Pippi Ciez and Layla Benitez will add to the weekend’s progressive melodic palette.

Top selling duo Volen Sentir contribute to the international intrigue alongside well-respected acts like YokoO and enigmatic deep house producer, Fulltone, who collectively boast releases with Crosstown Rebels, SATYA and Klassified Music.

Reaching beyond its normal cast of Dreamers – ADID Festival stretches to all those seeking a curated and intentional experience. With its international lineup of artists, ADID Festival will be the first label event with all its collaborators in one place. The event will feature multiple stages – including a signature All Day I Dream branded stage, a stage featuring bands and live electronica acts, an ambient stage, and a late-night stage that will run through sunrise.

Here’s what Lee Burridge had to say about the upcoming festival:

“We know that bringing together a legion of music fans with a massive line-up of all our All Day I Dream artists, while at the same time pushing our own boundaries by inviting live bands is going to create a weekend of heavenly experiences for artists and fans alike.”

Come get grounded and rejuvenate throughout the festival weekend at the waterfront sanctuary. The Sanctuary is produced by YBR Promotions and Waking Hour Wellness founder Brittany Tilleman, and offers daytime programming of yoga, sound healing, and meditation. Various wellness activities will be scheduled each day to bring more bliss and balance to each Dreamer’s experience. Tilleman will be hosting the Waking Hour Sessions each morning with yoga and ambient beats provided by an all-star female crew.

Friday evening at sunset, join the Sound Immersion Experience with Danny Goldberg and Jeremy Falk Yoga. Goli Gabbay will be offering a couple courses in breathwork, mindfulness and yoga in her Journey to Flow State + Serenity class, as well as her Union of the Divine Masculine + Divine Feminine. Programming will be available starting at 9am Fri-Sun until sunset. More offerings to be announced.

The warm and welcoming culture All Day I Dream has consciously fostered across its broad community of fans invites them to be as much part of the event’s vibe as the music itself. Furthering this, the festival’s ambitions offer the opportunity for attendees to experience positivity, happiness and a sense of well being at every turn, from musical performance to culinary delights, art installations, as well as yoga, breathwork, and meditation.

Woodward Reservoir‘s serene natural landscape presents the perfect backdrop to a weekend filled with love and creativity. Wander, explore, smile, dance and mingle with an amazing array of beautiful and kindhearted dreamers. With the musical soundtrack for the weekend concentrating on an emotive, melodic driven vibe it brings together not only the All Day I Dream label’s diverse roster of global artists but, for the first time, invites headlining bands from the alternative electronic space who fall into the “feels” category. The festival line up promises a weekend of musical bliss whichever stage you visit.

The label also had it’s most successful year to date in 2021, with established artists such as Lee Burridge, Sébastien Léger, Amonita, Fulltone, Lost Desert, and Tim Green releasing new singles that all hit the number one spot on Beatport (organic house) chart – as well as albums from Gorje Hewek, Pippi Ciez and Powel soundtracking Summer across the world.

David Guetta introduces his latest project, which he’s calling “Trap House”, in collaboration with Kodak Black’s massive hit. It’s all about mixing hip-hop & electro and returning to his roots (such as Black Eyed Peas “I Got A Feeling” & his classic album “Nothing But The Beat”).

David plans to represent this new sound at festivals & clubs, including Ultra Miami in March, where he’s headlining. With a pumping, thick bassline & melodic interludes highlighting the chorus of the song, Guetta does what he does best, melding pop sensibilities with core dance sonics to create a dynamic musical experience.

Having made history introducing the dance world to some of the biggest names in hip hop and RnB such as Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi and Lil Wayne, Guetta‘s new unique remix now comes as no surprise.

Paying homage to his house music roots and ability to merge dancefloor sounds with hip hop records as a unique producer, the ‘Super Gremlin Trap House Mix‘ showcases Guetta‘s unique ability to effortlessly cross genre boundaries.

The ‘David Guetta Trap House Mix’ of ‘Super Gremlin’ sees the French maestro inject some invigorating dancefloor energy into the infectious original with the inclusion of a slick, chunky bassline and mammoth drops. A certified hit, the original has racked up 99 million Spotify streams, 96 million YouTube plays and peaked at #5 in the US Billboard chart.

Florida-born rapper Kodak Black gained initial recognition with his single ‘No Flockin’ in 2014. His debut album Painting Pictures then peaked at #3 on the US Billboard 200 and the follow-up Dying to Live peaked at #1. Looking ahead, his third studio album Back For Everything will be released later this month.
